[1] The review comments state - "All through the movie, you have Alexander mouthing dialogues to make him look and sound bigger than he is". The AP Herald review [4] states - "Komal Jha is the heroine of this film who comes and goes out of the film at her will. She looked good in the songs, the director should have given more scope to her role".
